Judging by the centre web thickness & bolt fixing big ends I think you are right Stuart. I suppose one might get lucky, but in my own experience the available Reliant shafts now are a bit long in the tooth to justify the work involved (back in the late 70's you could still buy them new). Hence my interest in what Henry has in mind to replace it.
Interesting about the blown engines, I guess they were putting a lot of strain on the bottom end. It's perhaps of academic interest now, but I only recently realised Reliant moved the position of the big end oilways at some point in the life of the SV engine, which may not have helped.
